Is this Normal from a known breeder?

It was plenty warm here it was in the 60's here

He PM'd me the breeders name...it is definitely a big breeder. The breeder's terms are as follows:

"If you do have trouble with any animals you receive from us within one week of receipt, please contact us and let us help you find a solution to the problem. If a replacement is necessary, we reserve the right to replace the animal with a similar animal that has the same value. If the animal cannot be replaced, we will give you credit towards a different type or towards a future purchase. We do not give out cash refunds. "


The only reason I can see the breeder is asking for an extra $250 is if the similar animal is really worth that much more. BUT if they are the same genetics, there shouldn't be that big of a price difference.

And if it was too cold to ship, then the BREEDER should not have shipped...especially knowing who it is!!

Who's the breeder?

The exact same male as I purchased, same price and everything.

Screw it, I'll say it. It was Royal Constrictor Designs....I advised the OP to post his emails here regarding the replacement, and to contact Garrick.

And thats the thing..I told him it died. and he told me to heat it for 3-4 hours and see..then the conversations about it stopped and heard less until today

Hmm...well according to the OP, he payed $550 for the first one, and that is the price of the 2 males on the website that are still available.

According to the breeders terms, it should be a direct replacement...but I dunno at this point :(

It's just when it happened the conversation became nonexistent. That is what annoys me.

Have you tried calling them?? They have a phone number listed on the site.

I was just trying to see what he wanted to do about it. So I was being patient and seeing what would happen. Then I got that a few hours ago.
